- Comments : p.2 “How is it possible in a universe consisting entirely of physical particles in fields of force, that there can be such things as consciousness, intentionality, free will, language, society, ethics, aesthetics and political obligations? Though many, perhaps most contemporary philosophers do not address it directly, I believe that this is the single overriding question in contemporary philosophy.” ... “Our task is to give an account of how we live in exactly one world, and how all these different phenomena, from quarks and gravitational attraction to cocktail parties and governments are all part on one world.”
